Hmm, can't we wait until the POSIX standard with these changes is official?
Arguments pro waiting:

  - The majority of users is looking at the newest released POSIX on the
    public web of www.opengroup.org. They will be confused if gnulib
    voluntarily deviates from that.

  - Decisions of a standardization comittee can anytime be changed or even
    withdrawn before the next standard release, causing double work for us
    if we follow the standard closely.

Arguments against waiting:

  - When the POSIX standard with these changes is released, it will take us
    less time to implement the changes.
